CSK vs DC IPL 2025: DC's star opener KL Rahul has made a brilliant comeback to the ongoing season of the IPL as he has been able to score consistently and has continued his sublime form against the Chennai-based franchise. He did miss their tournament opener owing to the birth of his first child but then returned to the side ahead of their match against SRH.
But it was in the match against the Ruturaj Gaikwad-led side and thus paid the faith shown by DC's team management. He smashed a half-century off just 33 balls against the hosts and scripted history as he joined Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma in an elite T20 list.
KL Rahul joins Gambhir in the elite T20 list
It was KL Rahul's sixth half-century against the Chennai-based franchise in the cash-rich league tournament. He has scored the fourth most against the Ruturaj Gaikwad-led side and has joined team India's head coach Gautam Gambhir in an elite list, who has smashed the same runs against them.
Ex-DC batter David Warner is currently the table topper of this list as he has smashed more than 10 half-centuries against CSK. Faf Du Plessis has been ruled out from the ongoing match due to a niggle and that's why KL Rahul opened the innings and played brilliant and aggressive cricket and took the CSK bowlers to the cleaners.
